Stuart Holt has joined JP Morgan in an equity sales role, based out of London.
Holt brings more than two decades of industry experience to his new position, which will see him focused on London hedge funds.
He joins from Clear Street, where he had been serving as managing director, sales, distribution and client strategy, since January 2025.
Prior to this, he worked at Berenberg for seven years as head of pan-European sales, and also held a director position in equity sales at Bank of America Merrill Lynch for more than three years.
Holt also previously headed up hedge fund sales at Sanford Bernstein and worked in an equity sales role at Credit Suisse.
JP Morgan confirmed Holt’s appointment when contacted by The TRADE.
Holt’s new role aligns with further sales-based hires for JP Morgan, most recently with the appointment of Will Jeffries as global head of sell-side trading services sales.
Alongside Jeffries, the firm also promoted Guy Dipper to the position of APAC head of sell-side trading services sales, following more than 20 years of experience at the firm.
